I need help to print in a DOS Program to a network printer. In windows 98 I have a DOS program for medical software that I need to be able to recognize the network printer. Is there any help. We use IP numbers to print through the port. Thank you for your help.

you need to use the NET USE command to map LPT1 to the network printer. Alternatively, use named queues on the server (if that is possible) or get a remote print server device such as jet direct or Intel Netport.

Sorry, can you explain the NET USE Command a little bit more to me. Thanks for your help.
Example: NET USE LPT1 \\My_Computer\HP4000 or NET USE LPT1 "\\MyComputer\HP Laserjet 4000"

Is there any other way to print to the printer in the DOS program, withouth using Netware. I work at a college and if we used the Net Use command, wouldn't that mean that the students would have to log in. We are set up with TCP IP for the netowrk printer. (2100 TN). The students do not log in to the network. We just use that for internal use. Any other suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
